Thanks Leslie, I had tried that before but it still wasn't working. After looking at the table again, i had jargon in that field so that would explain why it would update "0" records. I guess i updated that field before in getting this to work and didn't clean it out.
My query is working...
Thanks John! That did the trick to convert to negative numbers, but its converting all of records in this table. I have the update query on 2 tables, and i need to limit the numbers that should be negative based on a criteria from one of those tables. So my amount field in my detail table...
Running Access 2002, doing an update query and need to update a particular field in a table to a negative amount based on another criteria. Seemed easy enough but i can't seem to do it with the query builder:
"-[Detail]![Amount]"
